Quantum Mach effect by Sagnac Phase Shift on Cooper pairs in rf-SQUID

arXiv:astro-ph/9606117

Abstract

The inertial drag on Cooper pairs in a rotating rf-SQUID ring leads to an asymmetry in the Hamiltonian potential able to force the average magnetic field versus in the ring along the angular velocity one. This effect is a Sagnac signature of Cooper pairs at a quantum level and it may probe the fundamental quantum Mach principle within detectability levels.
